(397e) Cheap Energy Is a Key to Competitive Artificial Fuels

Cheap energy is a key to competitive artificial fuels

Astract

Synthetic & renewable fuels mass and cheap production from CO2 extracted from the air and H2 created by the water splitting, e.g. by concentrated rays of magnetrons being very simple and cheap electronic device of very high energy efficiency near 100%, it is not a problem, but a problem to have a electricity cheaper USD 0.01/kWh, being around the clock and all year round. The last problem was my special investigations of some years and can be solved by different ways.

Different inventions promise primary renewable electricity cheaper USD 0.01/kWh each at 5 years payback and then practically free.
They are.
1. Solar thermal heterodyne. 2020. It allows a rectenna to be feasible at present level of rectifiers.
2. VAWT (vertical axis wind turbine) comprising a chain of units
rotated oppositely to neighboring ones, 2016.
3. Even well know solar PV panels can harvest 65% more solar energy with a help of a planar foil reflector, adding additional sun to the PV panel, 2020. Now such panels are dramatically cheapened,

and other energy technologies.

For example.

  1. Sailboats with hydro-generator. 2017. Its electricity is transformed on-board in hydrogen, and then in more transportable fuels

Breeding investment allows by credit for a first power plant in five steps to invest and build some tens analogous power plants. .

So OPEX is negligible vs. CAPEX, can be full cost of artificial intermediary fuel for 100% off-grid electricity by 2.5 cent/kWh. For housing such autonomy can be provided by local fuel-in-electricity substations. Autonomous supply can be paralleled by much cheaper direct grid supply.

CO2 can be USD 15.0/ton being my estimation with a good reserve, and being produced in quantity of 320 ton/m2/year in production ponds and by electricity cheaper than USD 0.01/kWh
